Founding AI Engineer
Discernis, New York City
The role
Today our founder runs the AI stack personally. He holds a Columbia PhD in AI and built Amazon's first customer-facing RLHF pipeline. You'll take the stack over, all of it: agentic workflows, retrieval and evaluation, inference optimization, fine-tuning, and post-training. For your first ~90 days you'll work side by side with him. After that, you set our AI direction and grow the team around it.
At a larger company, this would be three separate roles. Here, it's one. This is likely the single highest-impact role at the company, and we need someone who can do the engineering and the science.
